Here is an early Masonic matchsafe
or vesta case as the English call them. It depicts the Square and Compass
on one side, inlaid with blue enamel into the metal. The other side has the name
of the Lodge, Lord Kitchener of Khartum, Lodge number 2767, and it was presented
by Worshipful Brother C.H. Hosgood, who was Worshipful Master in 1914. As
this was not a presentation piece "to the Master"... it was probably
one of several pieces the Master had made for him to present to his Officer line
or when receiving special guests.
